Gotta get those microplastics right in there by the roots

It's what plants crave

solid blocks of plastic create microplastics when sitting in dirt?

Acidic soil + UV, for sure.

I don't get it. Are you a microplastics denier or something?

I just think people here have taken the worry about it to ridiculous degree.

Are you watering your plants? Microplastics got you anyway

Maybe slow it down a bit by not directly putting more plastic in there.
